Hi Michael,
Thanks for taking the time to offer your opinion. I surely understand where you are coming from. As a wedding photographer shooting medium format still photography for almost 2 decades I spent between $1,000-$2,500 apiece for several fixed focal length lenses. And this was in the early nineties mind you. So I do understand the importance of glass. What would your suggestions be knowing I need to cover the full telephoto range, since on set, I don't always have the luxury of moving the tripod. For the last several hours I have been researching and it was suggested I look into the EF 24mm-70mm 2.8 and the EF 70mm-200mm 2.8. Would you concur with this?

Do you have any specific recommendations regarding lenses for the commercial photography director?
